In OUR HEARTS
We thought of you with love today.
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.
We Love you dad.

Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear,
just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.
Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow
